Text 29] Yamaraja Instructs His Messengers 179
money is, and if they get money they spend it to maintain their families.
Yamaraja specifically advises his servants to bring these persons to him
for punishment and not to bring the devotees, who always lick the honey
at the lotus feet of the Lord, who are equal to everyone, and who try to
preach Krsna consciousness because of sympathy for all living entities.
Devotees are not liable to punishment by Yamaraja, but persons who
have no information of Krsna consciousness cannot be protected by their
material life of so-called family enjoyment. Srimad-Bhdgavatam says
(2.1.4):
dehapatya-kalatradisv
dtma-sainyesv asatsv api
tesa pramatio nidhanam
pasyann api na pasyati
Such persons complacently believe that their nations, communities or
families can protect them, unaware that all such fallible soldiers will be
destroyed in due course of time. In conclusion, one should try to associate
with persons who engage in devotional service twenty-four hours a day.
